2015 Pinot Noir, Cedar Lane Vineyard

Price: 42.00

Found in the riverbed corridor of the Arroyo Seco AVA, Cedar Lane Vineyard rests along the banks of the seasonal creek. This 60-acre property encompasses a pocket of terrain tucked behind the Santa Lucia bench where the riverbed narrows toward the mountains. Dramatic in its setting, the vines are rooted in shallow, rocky soil and produce distinct grapes.

Balance is the hallmark of this vintage; while intrigue is the hallmark of this vineyard. Showcasing the distinct character of Pinot Noir from Arroyo Seco AVA’s river channel this wine is a 50/50 split between two clones, "Dijon" 667 and Pommard (4). Loaded with juicy red and black toned fruits, the bouquet is filled with wild blackberry, raspberry, and black cherry. In its recesses aromas of pomegranate, rhubarb, black tea and loamy earthy notes abound. On the palate, the flavors carry through with focus, and are balanced by vibrant acidity and fleshy, round textures.
